Work pressure, low pay add to talent drain

I started as a pediatrician in 2001, and was recently transferred to a management role. In my experience, a pediatrician's job is more difficult than that of other doctors, and the talent drain of pediatricians is more serious, resulting in a shortage.

The work of pediatricians is more challenging because, unlike adults, children, especially babies, cannot clearly express their condition, which poses difficulties for pediatricians in diagnosis and treatment.

On the other hand, children attract more attention from society and pediatricians may face higher risks if accidents happen during treatment.
